Heavyweight contender Eddie Chambers suffered displaced fractures of his left anterior ninth and tenth ribs in training and, therefore, has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled 10-round bout with Sergei Liakhovich on the inaugural NBC Sports Network's Fight Night card from the Asylum Arena in Philadelphia, PA on January 21st.

Promoters Main Events and Peltz Boxing have reached out for a replacement for Chambers and will make an announcement as soon as possible.

First fight on the new NBC Sports Net boxing series and Eddie Chambers pulls out 8 days before the fight. Way to tough it out Eddie. This fight was a sure snoozer anyway. Maybe NBC can find a good stand in. What was that former football player's name? Michigan State I think? Get that kid.
